Red, White, and Black Special Birthday Card

Red, White, and Black Birthday Card

Hello, everyone, and Happy Friday! My day began to the dulcet tones of the fire alarm going off…it can only go up from there, right? I hope your day is off to a better start 🙂 Before we head into the weekend, I wanted to share with you a very special birthday card I made for a very special person – my sister! She’s been my constant friend for my whole life and I always love making cards for her.

I started with the awesome dimensional “Z” sticker and the color red (her favorite!), then went from there. It came together pretty easily once I picked my papers and patterns. I embossed the red with a damask-pattern embossing folder, used a decorative punch on the black and white patterned paper, picked some lace, ribbon, and twine, layered everything together, and there it was! Simple and beautiful, just like my sister 🙂

I wrote on the inside before remembering to take a picture…whoops…so you don’t get to see that. I repeated the decorative edge punch and stamped a fancy “Happy Birthday,” leaving plenty of room for a note. Because that’s really what it’s about 🙂

Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you again next week!
